Electronic Gaming Monthly September 1999

NARASAKI has a couple of photos promoting the Dreamcast in Electronic Gaming Monthly (September 1999)!
He was not credited.
Not exactly sure if the guy on the left is KANNO, but I don't think so...?

Special thanks to NarooN for letting us know about it.

In 2012, I asked NARASAKI if he remembered this photoshoot.
He replied, "Yeah! i was still young!"

(partial) CAT EP release interview 1997

Indies Magazine Vol.7 (February 1997)

http://twitter.com/ent_entelechy/status/1037999009732984832

* 1月30日にアルバム先行シングル 『 CAT EP 』 が発売になるんですよね？

ナラサキ:
うん。 ジャケットがものすごくいいよ。 俺コレ店で見たらジャケ買いするもん。 ベリーグッド (Very good!)！


* ジャケットの猫ちゃんおシリからシツボのラインがメチャかわいいもんねえ。

ナラサキ：
俺はね, 目だな。 思想のある目をしてるでしょ？ そこが好きなんだよね。

カンノ:
でも次に見たらぬいぐるみになってるかもよ。


* 次にって...？ あっ、そういえば、今ここにあるシングルと、 リリースするシングルとは内容が変わってるという噂を聞いたんですが。

ナラサキ：
いやあ、 どうでしょう （笑）？

カンノ：
ノーコメントで  (No comment.)（笑）。



Roughly translated with Google Translate and Bing Translator:

* On January 30th, the leading album single, "CAT EP" will be released?

NARASAKI:
Yes. The jacket is amazingly good. I'll buy a jacket when I see it in the store. "Very Good!"


* The line on the jacket cat's butt to the tail is very cute.

NARASAKI:
My preference is her eyes. She has eyes with thought, doesn't she? I like that.

KANNO:
でも次に見たらぬいぐるみになってるかもよ。
But if you look next, it might be a stuffed animal.


* What's next...? Oh, by the way, I heard rumors that the contents are changing with the single now and the single to be released.

NARASAKI:
Well, how is that (laughs)?

KANNO:
"No comment." (laughs).

NOTE:* The interviewer is referring to the album cover of CAT EP when talking about the "jacket".
* KANNO's comment is a hint to COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' EP series inspired by PostPet.
* The contents changing may be referring to the release of CAT EP and CAT EP II.
According to the Japanese COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS Wikipedia page, NARASAKI did not like the sound quality of the original CAT EP, so he released it again.
